Wayne Winkle
{Futuristic Thriller}
Terance Wolfe knew what it was like to lose everything. In the space of six years, he lost his freedom, his business, his wife and son. Then he got his freedom handed back to him.
What could he do?
In this time of severe water crisis, all he could do was go to work for the one corporation that seemed to be searching for water successfully: The Bennington Corporation, BenCor. And in the only place water could be found: Antarctica.
There he faced not only the terrible conditions under which he had to survive, but also the specter of a mercenary army hired by another corporation to seize the water found by BenCor--and to get the $30,000,000 of government money that went with it.
